I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I thought that the movie was entertaining. I have read the other reviews and I do agree with some of the things. The technical terms could be toned down. I was mostly happy to see Kellie Martin again. It was good to see some faces that I have not seen before. I guess that you would have to like fantasy/sci-fi to enjoy this movie. It is a great family show and I guess it could be easily be made more appealing to older audiences. I was a little annoyed with all of the Wal-Mart and Xbox commercials. I do not go to Wal-Mart, nor do I have an Xbox. If NBC does make it into a series they will have to make some adjustments. I hope that at least a part two is created.

I really like the idea behind this movie, a group of geniuses gathered together to solve the world's problems not for the credit, but because its the right thing to do. It was interesting to see Kellie Martin take on the adult role. She did well, but that makeup job made her look like she was pushing 40 and she's only 34. Patricia Richardson was good, but underutilized. Same for LeVar Burton. The special effects were really awesome. There were a couple of things that bugged me. While I realize it was necessary, all that science talk would start to lose me at times. The other was for the guy that played Edwin. When they are running the experiments on the nanobot, and the Asian guy keeps messing with the test subject's heart by first lowering it, and then making it go really fast, Edwin objects to it seeming to indicate that he's not a killer. However, when it's placed in Brody, he seems to have no problem with letting him die if need be. Overall, though I did really enjoy it. It's a good movie to sit down and watch with the family, and not have to worry about it being overly violent, with lots of bad language, and sexual content.

I disagree with some of the other reviewers here. I watched this last night and hope it turns into a series. It was very cute, very light, a nice family TV movie in the spirit of Spy Kids. Was it the greatest thing I have ever seen, no. Was it the worst thing, no. It was nice to see TV vets Patricia Richardson and LeVar Burton, 33 years now since Roots, believe it or not. Kellie Martin is a bit young to play the mother of teen ager, but she did it very well as always. She always shows class and grace in her roles and did very well in this cute family movie. It is what they refer to as a "back door" pilot and so if it did well they might turn it into a series. It would be better probably as a series of TV movies, similar to Mystery Woman, another Martin series. Nice to see something family oriented nowadays.

Everything was so fake. The dialogue sounded fake and they mention corny technology names too often. Not to give anything away, but I found it ridiculous that they had so much advanced technology, and the whole plot is saved by a simple device that everyone uses now.Only watch it if you want some laughs at how ridiculous it is.Out of ten stars, I would give it a, 2/10One other thing bad about the movie: The Sound mixing was terrible. There was music constantly playing but it was not balanced with the dialogue so it was very difficult to understand what they were saying at times.
